Providing a safe space for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight’s LGBTQ+ young people

Hello and welcome to Breakout Youth.  We offer a confidential support for young people aged 11 to 25, who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning or unsure of their sexuality or gender identity; across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Young people who identify as LGBTQ+ or are unsure often feel isolated and alone with their sexuality or gender identity. At Breakout Youth, you will find a group of likeminded young people that you can socialise with safely. You’ll also find help with those feelings of isolation or confusion. We run confidential youth groups based in Southampton, Basingstoke, Andover, the New Forest and the Isle of Wight.

• Regular confidential youth groups across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
• Local activities and events providing enjoyment, support and valuable information.
• Help with talking to others about your sexuality or gender identity.

• Access to other services that may help you.
• Confidential one-on-one support.
• Access to free condoms, lube, Chlamydia screens, pregnancy testing and advice from qualified sexual health workers.
• Support to help you stay safe in your relationships and your community.

If you are a professional, we also offer bespoke training on issues around sexuality, homophobia, gender and transphobia. We can design and run sessions for groups or assemblies, or support young people on a one to one basis.
